What's up everybody?

Welcome into this Friday preview edition of Pushing the Pile, brought to you by Fandual Sportsbook,

Make Every Moment More.

Those of you wondering, I was out of commission the past week.

It started on Christmas Day at a fever, and supposedly there's some virus going around, JP,

but it was pretty rough for three or four days, and the past few days been kind of back.

And I feel like this is the first day where I woke up and I'm like, I don't feel anything.

So perfect day to be back on the pop.

Absolutely.

This is the perfect day to come back, get some picks in.

It's our last week of picks.

So I'm very excited to put a little bow on the 2025 regular season.

Last week of picks is important because it is very tight coming down the stretch.

We're going to get to that in a little bit.

But very excited to be back.

Hope all you listeners had great Christmas, great New Year.

And now we're ready for Week 18 and kind of some playoff football.

We have some winter to go home games.

Not a lot, but we have a couple. As it stands right now, let's go through standings. AFC, it is Broncos, Pats, Jag, Steelers, wild cards are Texas, chargers, bills, NFC. It's Seahawks, Bears, Eagles, Panthers. Wild cards are 49ers, Rams, Packers, but we have some things up for grabs here.

Number one seed, both the NFC and AFC are up for grabs.

NFC is basically the de facto NFC West Championship game, similar to pretty much identical to what it was last year in the NFC North.

If you'll recall, Lions Vikings Week 18, that is now 49ers Seahawks. Winner gets the one seed, winner is your NFC North, if you'll recall Lions Vikings Week 18. That is now 49ers Seahawks.
